I am currently studying for my master degree in e-learning and media education, I love it! :) I also work for a foreign currency exchange company in Venice ad sales consultant! I got my bachelor degree in intercultural communication. I like meeting new people and enjoying good company! :) I hide many sides, I usually am a talkative person and I love listening to other people's stories but sometimes I just stand and observe how are things and people around me! :) I appreciate people who expect others just to be themselves, without any kind of exaggeration. I've been a scout leader for some years therefore I am attached to nature and appreciate any kind of open air activity like camping, hiking, trekking.... but don't expect me to climb mountains.. not yet!!! :) My current mission: learn to widen my mind by saying more "yes" than "no" :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The best moments I had in my life were with my family, friends or traveling sharing the experience with host families/friends I am still in touch with. The travel to Australia in 2008 hosted by a local family is still in my heart.

Teach, Learn, Share

I cook simple Italian dishes, I can help learning Italian language, give advice on blended or e-learning courses...And give advice about Venice of course! I speak French, too. If you are willing to learn something new, I won't back away from it then we can learn together maybe! :)
